Interesting. I think you could make an argument for either or of those two, but not addressing DL is pretty crazy imo. JJ Watt is the best defensive lineman in the NFL right now.

9.5 sacks and 10 PD's through 7 games from a 3-4 End is simply mind blowing. With him on our team, I predict we'd have about 10 more sacks already.

Meh, picking an every-down DE removes Bryant from the equation IMO, which would really hurt our Run D. With Ware, you could move him to either side for the rush and plug in your situational players. Watt is a good selection, i just like ware for obvious reasons. Jared Allen or JPP would both be great plug-in's as well.

I don't know why it is a question. JJ Watt would put red inside and make the entire DL elite. Plus stellar depth. With Willis as MLB it would be lights out D. Our D is already elite. We just don't have very many super stars.

Offensively To make our O elite AJ Green WR and Andrew Luck as QB. Although the O isn't even close to being elite those 2 will go extremely far to getting Top level offense

I would add DeMarcus Ware. He is too versatile to not be a factor. SLB/DE/DT. We could rush him from anywhere.

I would also add Haloti Ngata. He will be the UT in our scheme, but he can bring a nasty pass rush and still contribute on nickel downs. He could also fill in at the 5-tech in a dime, as well as NT. Again, he would bring a lot of versatility with Ware and let us plug in our role players when need be.

Willis>>>>Peterson in terms of defensive impact IMO

You need to get out of your Seattle bubble.

JJ Watt is just as good if not better than Bryant was against the run last year, better than he is this year, and literally 20 times the pass rusher. Literally. A pass rush of...
Clemons - Watt - Jones - Irvin >>> Clemons - McDonald - Jones - Clemons

Peterson is more dynamic than Willis as a playmaker and gives our secondary no flaws to think of. I can understand the vote for a LB._________________<Rammy

Ndamukong Suh and J.J. Watt. QB's would just flop to the ground, to keep from getting injured._________________"People say you should always do the right thing, but sometimes there is no right thing. And then, you just have to pick the sin you can live with." -Ig Perrish

JJ Watt and Von Miller. DeMarcus Ware would be close to irrelevant in our system whereas Miller actually plays the exact position we need. He's a tremendous player in space against the run and can rush the passer with the best of them. Watt would fill in for Red's spot as a player that can not only stop the run, but can also get after the passer from that elephant position which would completely transform our defense.

Patrick Willis doesn't make much sense because our MLB is already playing great football. Wagner is playing like a top 5 MLB in the league right now. Patrick Peterson doesn't make much sense either because you're just adding a great player to what is already the best secondary in the league. If I'm adding players, it's at our two biggest weaknesses, and that's pass rushing Elephant and a pass rushing LB that can still play the run._________________ '

I completely agree. But then again, I already consider our defense elite

Von Miller was the only guy I considered over Peterson. I just came to the conclusion that I thought Peterson would provide more of a benefit every down. Von Miller is a better pass rusher than Irvin, yes. Without a doubt. But Peterson is also better than Browner. Peterson gives us a dynamic CB2 across from Sherman. If you pick the ball, you better be pitching it to Peterson or Earl, because either guy could house it. In a nickel package, I see:

I don't really think it's that close. Bringing in Peterson means taking out Browner, who statistically has actually been better than Peterson this season (though I'd rather have Peterson). I don't think replacing a relative strength with a debatable upgrade is a move that pushes this defense over the top. But replacing a guy like Leroy Hill who's skillset is pretty limited to run defense with a guy like Von Miller who can play the run as well as be an elite pass rusher DOES put this defense over the top. Shoot if we could only have 1 of either Watt or Miller we would be unstoppable._________________ '
